T o alt 'whom 'it mag.' concern.:

Be it. known that I, Mosu- MosLEii Karima citizen of the United States, and resident of Louisville, in the county of Jeiierson and State of Kentucky, have invented an Improvement in Telephone-Receiver Supports, of which the following is a specification.

' My invention is an improvement in telephone receiver supports, andV consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof Figure 1 is a. perspective view of the support in osition on a wall telephone. Fig. 2 is a si e view of the support attached to a desk telephone. Fig. 3 is'a detail scc vtional view of the universal joint connection.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the receiver seat.

The present embodiment of my invention comprises a bracket consisting of three sections, A, B and C, connected with each other by universal joints, the .sections being composed of tubular material in order to make the bracket light and strong.

The section A is adapted. to be detachably connected with the transmitter arm d' of the wall telephone 1), or with the standard e of the support E on desk telephones. For this purpose, the inner end of t ie section is bent, as at ii, to partially encircle the arm or the standard, as the case may be, a cross piece o.' being arranged on the opposite side of the arm or standard and det-achably connected to the section by the set screws a: which traverse registering openings in the section and the cross piece. The outer end of the section A is 1provided with a ball a3, received in a socket u on the end of the intermediate section AB, and a .set screw is rovided for tightening the socket on the ba l, the socket being split for this purpose.

The section'B, comprises a portion L', and a portion b2 arranged at right angles to the portion b', the portion b being offset- .Fnom the adjacent endof the portion b2, this otiset being formed b f bending the tube, of which the Section is ornied, back upon itself, as shown at b3. The other end of the section B is provided with a socket b, in which is received a ball c on the inner end of the section C. The socket b* is split and provided with a set screw b5 for tightening the socket on the ball c.

The section C at its outer end is bentas shown in Figs 1 and 4, to forni a support for the receiver, the receiver resting in the` support in the position show n by dotted lines 4 i "lhe supporting seat c for tlief in said figure. receiver, is for-ined by bending the tube of which the section C is formed into an open depending loop c2, again into an open depending loop c, the two loo s forming the seat for the receiver.

1t wi be noticed that the openings of the loops are slightly contracted, whereby to retain the receiver in place when it is inserted inthe seat. This contraction is only suiiicient to retain the receiver from accidental dislodginent, ermitting it, however, to be easily inserte and withdrawn.

That portion ofthe section B which is bentupon itself, forms a foot or handle bf for convenience in manipulating the bracket to bring the receiver into proper position with respect to the users ear, and when the bracket is a plied to a. desk telc ilione, the foot or handiie rests upon the desk or table, as shown in Fig. 2.
